They Dreamed of Poppies
Saul Tanpepper

Decades after an ecological disaster destroyed all life on Earth and forced the last few hundred survivors of Humanity to take refuge in an ailing space station, twenty brave souls make one last desperation trip to Mars hoping to resurrect an aborted terraforming experiment from years past. They arrive six months later only to find an Edenic paradise, proof the experiment was a success. But where have the previous colonists gone? The answer becomes too frighteningly apparent only after they begin preparations to receive the rest of Mankind, and by then it's too late to stop them.

Deep Into the Game (S.W. Tanpepper's GAMELAND Book 1)
Saul Tanpepper

Zpocalypto gamer Jessica Daniels and her gang of code jackers will risk their lives to break into Long Island's Gameland hoping to catch a glimpse of the Infected Undead. But after a terrifying accident nearly takes the life of one of their members, the plan begins to unravel.
One of them, however, has a secret agenda that doesn't involve the rest of them getting off the island anytime soon. Not alive, anyway. And maybe, not even dead, either.

Ascendance
Saul Tanpepper

For centuries, Humanity expanded into the galaxy. We thought we were alone. Then came the alien Swarm. They destroyed our colonies and decimated Earth cities. They took from us our sense of sovereignty.
It wasn't all they stole.
There were thirty-six of us to start. This is the story of our abduction and our fight to survive among the stars. It is the tale of an unlikely hero who will one day bring us all back home.
Part Lord of the Flies, part Ender's Game, Ascendance chronicles the beginning of a lifelong journey by a group of young social outcasts, including a troubled teenager on the brink of manhood. It is the inaugural title in THE INTERSTELLAR LIFE OF PIGEON, a planned trilogy based in the world of best-selling author Nick Webb's popular space opera, LEGACY FLEET.
